    Windows 7 cool tip for command prompt

    Found out about this great tip while using Windows 7.
    In Explorer, go to where you see the folder you would want the command prompt to open in.
    Shift-RightClick on the folder, now you will see in the popup an option "Open command window here".

    When I install a new OS I always add that command to rightclick file or folder object.

    I was doing the same in Windows 7 but now you have found that tip, so thanks a lot.
    I just wonder why they added it with a SHIFT modificator

    I too always added that option in xp, while searching for how to do it in win 7 came across this easy way. Why shift? No idea, but I wonder why every time I use it too.
